* BigEater: SuperStrength from SupernaturalMartialArts doesn't come from nowhere, which is especially relevant when powered by internal energy. Zhou Na ends up discovering this when Qi Zixao (in Lin Fan's body) transfers a bit of energy and teaches her the basics and noting that she no longer needs to worry about becoming fat.



* MistakenForGay: The saintess of an all-female sect insists on sleeping the night together with Qi Zixao (while Lin Fan is in her place) for some girl talk. This results in certain rumors, much to the real Qi Zixao's annoyance.

Added DiffLines:

* TheTeamBenefactor: Qi Zixao and Lin Fan's operations on Earth are partially sponsored by Zhao Na, an upper-class girl, and her connections. This is partially out of gratitude for saving her when she was being mugged and partially because causing TheMagicComesBack creates a lot of investment opportunities.

** Even with the spiritual energy of Earth pretty much dead, it is theoretically possible for a mortal martial artist to obtain SuperStrength by training their internal energy. In practice however, the lack of spiritual energy means that normal humans will never notice their internal energy. Lin Fan is only able to achieve this due to his experiences in the cultivation world allowing him to learn what internal energy feels like.

* WildCardExcuse: Qi Zixao is keeping the soul connection between her and Lin Fan a secret, partially because she is afraid her master will see it as a liability, partially because a few of the things she has learned are valuable enough to be worth stealing. How does she explain where all of her strange foreign inspirations from Earth come from? She claims she got it from a book she borrowed called, ''The Summary of all Martial Techniques''. In actuality, all said book teaches is how non-cultivators can use internal energy for SupernaturalMartialArts.

* BrokenAce: Zhou Xiaoran was an extremely talented with numerous accomplishments across multiple fields. Unfortunately, everything was ''too'' easy for her, so she was unable to feel the sense of accomplishment that normal people could. Between her inability to relate to others and simple envy, her colleagues isolated her, leaving her extra work and excluding her from social events. One day while working in a lab, she just so happened to have an extremely deadly poison on hand, so she was DrivenToSuicide. The BungledSuicide left her in a paralysed state, aware of the world but unable to move her body, open her eyes, or communicate. Her formerly well off parents fell into poverty keeping her alive, causing her to feel guilty. Lin Fan infuses her with spiritual energy, allowing her to wake up, and realizes that she has a special supernatural body type that makes her an InstantExpert, hence why she is different from others.

Added DiffLines:

* InstantExpert: The talent of those born with the astral body. Even in a world without spiritual energy, those who have it can master anything easily. In cultivation worlds, they can achieve in hours what would take normal cultivators years.

* BrilliantButLazy: One of the disciples of the sect winemaker is an absolute genius at GeometricMagic, purely for just in case he needs to protect himself, but keeps a low profile and has no interest in actively cultivating immortality, preferring to enjoy life. When Lin Fan figures out he is a hidden genius, he blackmails him with it.

* TheMagicComesBack: The main protagonists' goal on Earth becomes to revitalize its BackgroundMagicField.
* TheMagicGoesAway: Earth used to have a BackgroundMagicField, but it wasn't stable enough to form a self-perpetuating cycle and gradually dissipated. Internal energy still works in theory, but without spiritual energy to complement it, no one notices that it even exists.

* SelfMadeMan: Qi Zixao is an orphan from humble origins that was accepted into the sect for her talent. Via her talent and hard work, she became the top ranked female apprentice, roughly tied with the top ranked male apprentice, who is her rival and fiance. Both of them hate one another, but her fiance still gets satisfaction out of using the marriage agreement to put her down, so she hopes to surpass him enough to end the agreement. Lin Fan's help and inspirations from Earth rapidly promote her from the star of her sect to the star of her generation, making her influence felt throughout her entire world.

* ObsessedWithFood: Cultivators don't need to eat as much as mortals and the cultivation world also has a lot less variety in the first place. Qi Zixao takes full advantage of Lin Fan's life to enjoy meals that do not exist in the cultivation world.

Added DiffLines:

* HidingTheHandicap: While the soul connection between Lin Fan and Qi Zixao has benefited both, it also comes with inconveniences. Qi Zixao particularly fears that her sect master will see her as no longer suitable for her position if he finds out, so the two agree to keep their condition a secret.

* AccidentalTruth: Qi Zixao and Lin Fan borrowing her body scam resources out of fellow sect members by offering them made-up techniques. The made-up techniques turn out to have actual benefits.


Added DiffLines:

* KiManipulation:
** All living things have internal energy, even on Earth. Mortal martial artists use it in the cultivation world. However, without spiritual energy to augment it, people on Earth are unlikely to notice it. When Lin Fan figures it out from his experiences in the cultivation world, he obtains SuperStrength. However, to his disappointment, it won't allow him to cultivate immortality, though it does help him get started.
** Spiritual energy is similar to internal energy, but far more powerful and versatile, and is what makes immortal cultivation possible. Unlike internal energy, it is ''not'' intrinsic to living things, meaning that you need at least a seed of it to get started with.

Once every three days, the mysterious connection between them causes them to switch again. The two occasionally cause one another problems in their daily lives, but they also learn to use the situation to their benefit and leave one another messages.

On Earth, they discover that it was once a low level cultivation world too, but the BackgroundMagicField's weakness and instability resulted in TheMagicGoesAway. Using the knowledge of the cultivation world, they gather the tiny sparks that are left and nourish them so that TheMagicComesBack.

In the Cultivation World, the two create {{Magitek}} inspired by Earth technology. They focus on increasing Qi Zixao's power and influence so that she can escape the ArrangedMarriage she is stuck with.

The two come to share the goal of bridging the two worlds, so that they can one day meet in person.

!!General Tropes
* ArrangedMarriage: Qi Zixao has one with the son of a wealthy family due to having humble origins, yet having talent. Both of them hate the situation and one another, but her fiance also uses it to put her down. Qi Zixao hopes to build up enough influence to end the marriage agreement.
* BackgroundMagicField: The cultivation world has spiritual energy in the atmosphere that living things can absorb to augment themselves. Lifeforms, especially plants, release more energy than they take in, sustaining it and making it stronger. Earth once had this too, but it was too thin to sustain itself. The two protagonists manage to salvage the traces that are left, use GeometricMagic to keep it from dissipating, and allow plants to absorb and release more, with the goal of eventually creating a self sustaining cycle on Earth as well.
* FreakyFridayFlip: The two main protagonists switch places on a cyclical three day basis.
* HolyHalo: By reciting certain proverbs from Earth, triggering the EnlightenmentSuperpowers of the cultivation world, Qi Zixao wins a blessing from the heavens in the form of a halo that protects her from malice via fortune.
* {{Magitek}}:
** When Qi Zixao describes what a gun is to her alchemist confidant, he manages to use his skill at alchemic explosions and blacksmithing to create a cultivator version.
** When Lin Fan convinces the sect leader to leave Qi Zixao an artifact mirror with a spirit capable of rapid calculations, he uses the tool spirit as a cloud server and has her connect to countless jade slips shaped like phones to introduce a cultivation equivalent to the smart phone.
** One of Lin Fan's confidantes, a professor, figures out how to convert electricity into spiritual energy.
* ManIFeelLikeAWoman: Defied! On his third day in Qi Zixao's body, Lin Fan, not yet knowing that the transmigration works on a cyclical basis, decides to take a bath, only to be interrupted when the two revert to their original bodies. When they switch again, Qi Zixao leaves a message warning that she will castrate him if he attempts anything perverted with her body.
* SupernaturalMartialArts:
** There are various supernatural combat techniques in the cultivation world. Qi Zixao's fiance for example has one allowing for SuperSpeed.
** Even with the spiritual energy of Earth pretty much dead, it is theoretically possible for a mortal martial artist to obtain SuperStrength by training their internal energy. In practice however, the lack of spiritual energy means that normal humans will never notice their internal energy. Lin Fan is only able to achieve this due to his experiences in the cultivation world allowing him to learn what internal energy feels like.
